Seattle dating scene promising for 24 year old single, white, female? (how much, home)

[adanescobar]

What type of men are you into? If your looking for trendy, well dressed, fit you won't find many here.

If your looking for sloppy, addicted to some sort of drugs, white males you'll find plenty.

If your looking to date interacially, you'll be disappointed, unless you go out seeking it.

I'm a 24 year old man who isn't nerdy, shy, or a hipster and I'm planning on moving to Seattle with my buddy who's similar in a few months. So unless were gunna be the only 2 of our kind there, we exist in Seattle.

I moved to Seattle in May 2006 and met the woman I married in summer of 2007. I don't know whether this is typical. I do know that threads about dating in Seattle are far more full of complaints than success stories. I suspect this is because people that were successful and/or are happily married have better things to do. That's just something to keep in mind regarding threads like this one.

I always say that men who are outgoing and friendly will clean up in Seattle. Won't have any trouble finding a partner, because it's so unusual for women to be approached, that the friendly guys will have almost no competition. Congrats on your success!

Yea but you have to work very hard to meet woman in Seattle you got to get past the cold shoulder and aloofness most woman have in this state. I say if your a guy in Seattle and want a GF you have to put at least 10 to 15 hours a week to go out and meet woman. Also you have to keep busy with different activity's so you can meet woman. Next you got to break down the woman's defensive wall she puts up.

I am speaking as a guy with a non existent social circle you have to work x2 as hard to get dates.

It's definitely a second job in Seattle. Living there two years ago I was punching the clock weekly. Monday-Thursday were extremely dry and if it rains forget it.

Women have the advantage number wise due to the IT mess. But that's assuming these guys know how to meet and interact with people in general. There was a saying that 20 percent of the men get like 80 percent of the women.

The marriage rate here isn't that low, so people are meeting and marrying despite that these threads seem to suggest that no one is able to date anyone else.

You have to circulate to meet women anywhere you live, that's just a given. And talk to women when you're out, even if you're just going to the store. I didn't run into any defensive walls, man. Women in Seattle seemed happy for the attention. They said dudes never talk to them. One thing I noticed is that when they do talk to women, Seattle dudes are unbelievably clueless. I've been in group activities where almost every time they opened their mouths, the dudes said something that was a put-down of women, but they had no clue. They just didn't know how to talk to women. It was sad. Strange, in fact. Like they had no socialization, no experience with women at all, like they were born and raised on another planet.

So don't let that happen to you. Be mellow with women, don't be a chump, and they won't put up a wall.

There's a very large nerd population that makes $100K plus but also a lot of artsy types looking to party as well as large gay community.

I am a female in my 20s from the Midwest (not Colorado, but I am familiar with the social scene out there). You can click through the old posts I've made on this site to get my testimonies. But of course, it's only my experience and personal perception. Other women might tell you otherwise, so take it with a grain of salt.

There are non-nerdy, non-socially awkward men in this city. But it's hard to meet them if you have don't have an existing social network here and they are definitely outnumbered by nerdy types who work in the tech industry and hipsters in skinny jeans. If you're looking for the all-American jock types that you see a lot in Boulder and Denver, that's asking for a lot in Seattle. They exist yes, but most of them are already taken and they aren't very common. You can try snowboarding interest groups, but one of my female friends did that and said everyone was mostly 40+.
